Ravenue Man Blues |
| Lord, the revenue men is ridin', boy, you’d better look out |
| (Aw, sure, if it ain’t Purvis) |
| Lord, the revenue men is ridin', boy, you’d better look out |
| (Boy, if he hollers at you, you don’t stop, boy) |
| If he hollers at you, don’t stop, you will likely be knocked out |
| Well, I don’t allow her salt water, well, she always wants a drink |
| (Got to have a drink) |
| I don’t allow her salt water, she always wants a drink |
| (Wanna drink? See you with a bottle, though) |
| If they see you with a bottle, they will almost break your neck |
| Oh, take me home through, Lord, that shy nest door |
| (Aw, sure) |
| I said take me home through that shy nest door |
| (She don’t need no telephone to get there, aw, sure) |
| She don’t need no telephone, daddy will take you in his car |
| Oh, come on mama, let us go to the edge of town |
| (Aw, sure) |
| Come on, mama, let us go to the edge of town |
| (Baby, I know where Charley’s got his other nest built at) |
| I know where there’s another bird nest built down on the ground |
| Oh, I wake up every mornin' now with the jinx all around my bed |
| (Aw, sure) |
| I wakes up every mornin' with the jinx all around my bed |
| (You know I have them jinx here now) |
| I have been a good provider, but I believe I’ve been misled |
